Molecular Addition Compounds of the Group IVa Tetrachlorides with Diphenyl Ether and Anisole BY HARRYH. SISLER'AND One of the most important factors involved in the formation of molecular addition compounds is the ability of molecules of one of the components to share pairs of electrons with molecules of the other component. Compound formation through the electron sharing mechanism depends upon the availability of a stable orbital on the acceptor atom, the availability of a pair of electrons on the donor atom, the electronegativities of the donor and acceptor atoms, and on various steric factors. With the hope of arriving at a better understanding of the process of molecular addition compound formation, a study of various molecular addition compounds has been undertaken. This paper reports the results of a study of the systems of carbon tetrachloride, silicon tetrachloride, germanium tetrachloride, and tin tetrachloride with diphenyl ether and anisole, respectively. Experimental Preparation of Materials.-The carbon tetrachloride was purified by repeated fractionation a t atmospheric pressure. The silicon tetrachloride was obtained from the Fairmount Chemical Company, and was purified by fractionation a t atmospheric pressure. A middle fraction having a constant boiling point of 56' a t 735 mm. pressure and freezing a t -62.5' was taken. This freezing point is somewhat higher than that reported in the literature. Germanium tetrachloride, obtained from the EaglePitcher Lead Co., was fractionated in the same manner, a middle fraction boiling a t 82.2' a t 741 mm. pressure and freezing a t -49.5' being retained. J. T. Baker C. P. anhydrous tin tetrachloride was further purified by fractionation, a middle fraction boiling a t 112' a t 738 mm. pressure, and freezing a t -30.5' being retained. I n all these fractionations a five-foot packed column was used and the material was carefully protected against contact with moisture. Diphenyl ether obtained from the City Chemical Corporation was purified by repeated recrystallization. The product used in these experiments had a melting point of 28". Anisole obtained from the Eastman Kodak Company was dried by allowing it t o stand over sodium and was purified by fractionation under reduced pressure. A middle fraction boiling a t 99" under 130 mm. pressure and freezing a t -37.4' was retained. Procedure .-The systems were studied by the freezing point method, the freezing points being determined by means of cooling curves. The cell used in these experiments was similar to that in similar studies previously reported.' The thermocouple well was filled with a mixture of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform t o minimize convection effects. The stirrer in the cell consisted of a stainless steel wire coil attached to an iron cylinder coated with stainless steel; the stirrer was operated by means of a solenoid which was wired through a motor driven interrupter, thus allowing constant stirring. Weighed quantities of the components of the system being studied were introduced from a Lunge pipet, the pipet having a ground glass surface of the same taper as the opening.

ititroducing a sample, another opening was open to the atmosphere through a drying tube filled with calcium chloride. A copper-constantan thermocouple attached to a Leeds-Northrup Micromax self-recording potentiometer was used to measure the temperatures and record the cooling curves; the apparatus was calibrated a t the melting point of ice, the boiling point of ammonia, the freezing point of pyridine, the sublimation point of carbon dioxide and the boiling point of oxygen. The various mixtures were cooled in an ice-salt-bath, in a Dry Ice-carbon tetrachloride-chloroform bath, or in liquid oxygen depending upon the freezing point for the particular mixture. The rate of cooling was regulated by siirrounding the cell with one or more test-tubes of larger diameter. The break in the cooling curve was taken as the freezing point; in case of a small amount of supercooling, the level to which the temperature rose immediately after the first break in the curve was taken. Runs in which supercooling was considerable were discarded. All freezing points reported were redetermined a t least once. In cases where the tendency to supercool was great, the mixtures were cooled until solidification took place, then warmed rapidly to a temperature just above the freezing point, and then cooled in the regular manner. The tendency toward supercooling was reduced by means of a platinum wire which penetrated the cell wall and thus provided a "cold spot" to start crystallization. Data obtained by the above method are believed correct to *1.5O.

Nevertheless, from the course of the curve, and a knowledge of the electronic structure of the molecules involved, it is probable that the mole ratio of the ether to the tetrachloride in the compound is 2 : 1.

The general shape of the curve C in Fig. 1 is very similar to that for the silicon tetrachloridediphenyl ether system except that the tendency toward compound formation is less pronounced.

Discussion Summarizing the results of the experiments presented in this paper, we may state the followiny observations : (a) carbon tetrachloride does not react either with diphenyl ether or with anisole; (b) diphenyl ether probably reacts with the other three tetrachlorides to form compounds presumably of the formula 2(C6H&O.MC14; and (c) anisole reacts with the other three tetrachlorides to form, in each case, compounds of the formulas CeH60CH3.MC4 and C6HbOCH3.2MC14. Because of the complex nature of these phenomena, a thorough theoretical interpretation of these experimental results must await the gathering of more experimental data. Further studies are now in progress. Certain points may be considered a t this time, however. It is interesting to note that carbon tetrachloride shows no tendency toward compound formation with either anisole or diphenyl ether

whereas all the other three tetrachlorides show a t least a small tendency toward compound formation with both of these ethers. This would tend to lead one to the conclusion that the availability of a stable orbital on the central atom of the tetrachloride plays a major role in compound formation in these systems. The carbon atom in carbon tetrachloride has no such stable orbital available. The fact that anisole has a much stronger tendency than diphenyl ether to react with the tetrachlorides is interesting in light of the fact that a phenyl group has a greater electron withdrawing effect than a methyl group. The electron density about the oxygen atom in diphenyl ether is, therefore, less than about the oxygen atom in anisole; hence, anisole would be expected to have a greater tendency t o share a pair of electrons than diphenyl. The effects of the differences in the electronegativities of carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin, as well as various steric effects are undoubtedly of some significance in interpreting the results ob-

tained in this study. It is hoped that further studies will, to some extent at least, aid in the evaluation and delineation of these effects. Summary 1. The systems of carbon tetrachloride, silicon tetrachloride, germanium tetrachloride and tin tetrachloride with diphenyl ether and anisole, respectively, haye been studied throughout the entire concentration range. Carbon tetrachloride showed no tendency toward compound formation with either of these ethers. 2. The existence of the compounds CeH6OCH&iC14, CaHsOCHaGeCl4, C6H60CH3.SnC14, C6H50CH3.2SiC14, C6H50CH3.2GeC14and C6H6OCH3.2SnCl4has been demonstrated. 3. The probable existence of addition compounds of diphenyl ether with silicon tetrachloride, germanium tetrachloride, and tin tetrachloride, presumably of the general formula 2(C6H6)*O.MC4, has been indicated.
